About the role
Okta is the leading independent provider of enterprise identity, and the Okta Identity Cloud enables organizations to securely connect the right people to the right technologies. The team owns the Okta Recovery Vault (ORV), an enterprise-grade soft-delete and object recovery capability that protects critical identity objects such as Users and Groups from accidental or malicious deletion. This senior fullstack role owns the technical design, implementation, and operational reliability of critical components in the real-time recovery system, spanning backend services and the admin-facing UI used to review and restore data.
What you will do
- Feature Execution: Drive the technical design and end-to-end implementation of complex features, such as granular and bulk recovery workflows across Free and Advanced Resilience tiers — from backend APIs to the admin console UI.
- Component Design: Design and build reliable core components for real-time recovery systems that capture deletion events, support scalable data restoration, and surface clear, actionable recovery status to end users.
- UI/UX for Recovery Workflows: Build responsive, accessible front-end experiences (e.g., recovery dashboards, bulk restore flows, audit views) that make complex backend recovery operations easy for admins to understand and act on.
- Relationship & State Management: Solve challenging engineering problems around relationship restoration (group memberships, app assignments, device enrollments) and state consistency, and reflect that state accurately in the UI.
- Security & Compliance: Implement secure logging and tracking for all recovery operations (soft-delete, restore, permanent-delete) in Syslog to adhere to strict audit and compliance standards.
- Product & Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Product Managers, Designers, and technical leads to clarify requirements, define technical scope, and break down complex projects into actionable milestones across the stack.
- Operational Excellence: Participate in on-call rotations, troubleshoot production issues (backend and frontend), perform root cause analysis (RCAs), and enhance system observability, logging, and metrics.
- Code Quality & Technical Standards: Champion engineering best practices through thorough code reviews, automated testing (unit, integration, and UI), and comprehensive technical documentation.
- Team Growth: Provide guidance and peer mentorship to intermediate and junior engineers on the team to foster technical growth and code quality across the full stack.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- Experience: 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building and scaling highly reliable, production-grade full stack applications.
- Backend Expertise: Strong proficiency in object-oriented programming, with extensive experience in Java and the Spring Boot framework.
- Frontend Expertise: Solid experience building modern, component-based web UIs (e.g., React, TypeScript) including state management, performance optimization, and accessibility best practices.
- Distributed Systems: Solid experience with distributed system patterns, asynchronous job processing, and event-driven architectures (essential for bulk restore operations).
- Data Management: Proficiency with relational databases (e.g., MySQL) and caching strategies (e.g., Redis) to manage state and high-throughput data snapshots.
- API Design: Proven experience designing, building, and maintaining robust RESTful APIs, and consuming them to build seamless, responsive front-end experiences.
- Problem Solving & Ownership: Proven track record of independently breaking down ambiguous requirements into clean, scalable software designs across the entire stack.
- B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
Preferred qualifications
- Familiarity with Identity and Access Management (IAM) standards (SCIM, SAML, OAuth, OIDC) or directory services (AD, LDAP).
- Experience with resilient systems design (e.g., retry strategies, circuit breakers, rate limiting).
- Hands-on experience with feature flagging frameworks and gradual/canary deployment strategies.
- Experience with queueing systems or message brokers (e.g., Kafka).
- Experience with design systems / component libraries and cross-browser/responsive UI testing.
